Let Us Now Praise The Baked Potato

[Zomby Woof]

I love 'em. I have to put butter, sour cream, and lots of freshly ground black pepper on mine.



And how do you like them?

[spindrifter]

1. Plain.

If I am going to eat a baked potato, I prefer it to just taste like potato with maybe a little salt.

[Floogeldy]

2. Yes.

A little pepper is okay. A little butter is okay, too, if you are on a whole foods diet. ;)

[Generic Brad]

3. I'm pushing the salsa

It's low cal and delicious! And I am not affiliated with the salsa industry in any way. Try it and you will never go back to butter.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. but there's chives on the potato in the picture

and I don't see any black pepper :shrug: and you forgot to put some coarse salt on the outside :cry:

[Zomby Woof]

9. Google failed me

I couldn't find one made to order... so I beseech (I always wanted to use that word) my fellow potatoheads to use their imaginations. :D

:coarsesalt:

[reyd reid reed]

5. Gee, thanks...

Now I'm hungry. And I didn't bring dinner tonight.

6. French fried

[GOPisEvil]

7. Watch out, Midori might want to make love to that spud.

:scared:

(Man, that is an OLD SCHOOL DU reference.)

[Zomby Woof]

10. Shee-it!

Next thing you know, we're going to have a more-patriotic-than-thou pissing contest. :P

[GOPisEvil]

11. LOL! Ahhh...the good ol' days.

Hand me my walker, boy... :P

[Zomby Woof]

I'll bring it right over to you

In my race-car shopping cart. :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

17. Now that was a classic flame war.

:D

[Zomby Woof]

23. Don't forget...

NEVER boil your ribs! :D

[GOPisEvil]

24. Laura Branigan was a talentless hack!

:bounce:

[Zomby Woof]

25. Laura Branigan

Was probably unsupervised when her Mom took her to the supermarket as a child! It's the ONLY explanation!

[GOPisEvil]

26. I bet she left...

...her shopping carts in the parking lot, too!

[Zomby Woof]

27. And of that wasn't bad enough...

She begged her mommy to buy 3 boxes of Corn Flakes. Tastes like chicken!

[GOPisEvil]

28. Psst...don't tell anyone...

But I once had a pork cutlet breaded in corn flakes at a restaurant in Kansas City. It was pretty good. :hide:

[Zomby Woof]

30. I bet it was

I have nothing against corn flakes as breading. I appreciate creativity in cooking, actually. Although I would pick a better venue than Kansas City. :P

[GOPisEvil]

31. Ah well...

...I can't control where my friends live. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

32. True

But you can control where you eat your ice cream.

But can you control what the ice cream does? :crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

33. Beware the "cone within a bowl"!!!

It is fraught with danger.

[Zomby Woof]

35. But oh soooo goooood

*drool*

[GOPisEvil]

36. So often the things that are yummy are those that are bad for us.

x(

[Zomby Woof]

37. It's healthy when I eat it

Because the sidewalk takes most of it! :P

[GOPisEvil]

39. Plus, it's aerobic avoiding all the drips!

:P

[Zomby Woof]

41. There was one drip I couldn't avoid

He drove all the way from Texas. :P

[GOPisEvil]

42. Well, everything's bigger in Texas.

Including the drips...

Er, wait a second...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. Put some peanuts and whipped cream on it

an even "older school" reference :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

14. Now if Crewleader would drop by

I'll get all misty-eyed. :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

15. I trot that one out every time she has a milestone.

Unless that bastard underpants beats me to it. :evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. I bring it up in GD if I can work it :)

[CatWoman]

19. ROFL!!!!!

I'm gonna marry that damn potato!!!

Whipped cream and peanuts all around!!!!

:hi:

[LeftCoast]

8. Sprigs of rosemary. Olive oil. Sea Salt. Potato

Wrap in aluminum foil and set over the BBQ for 40 mins. Turn once. Heaven.

[Gormy Cuss]

38. That's so left coast.

I like them that way too.

[caty]

13. A little salt

and gobs of butter. Sometimes sour cream. Never pepper.

[ikojo]

16. I've been told that the potato is

full of stuff that is good for you. It gets a bum rap in the "dieting" world but it's not the tater that is "bad" for you, it's how it's dressed.

[CatWoman]

20. Z,

I was watching Anthony Bourdain last night. This show was shot in Peru.

And his travel guide said that the potato originated in Peru.

The things you learn........

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. Did he mention whether Peru had nukes?

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

22. TEENA!!!!!!

:nuke:

LOL,

You know I was fucking stoned :smoke:

[Maddy McCall]

29. Gimme a BIG Idaho spud, a stick of butter, fresh ground pepper, sea salt

And I am in tastebud heaven.

:D

[sarge43]

34. Hmmmm, baked potato

Lots of sweet butter and a spritz of lemon juice. Fresh chives are always welcome. :loveya:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

40. OOOOO! I just had two last night!

butter, sourcream, chives, salsa and bacon for me.

[BrotherBuzz]

43. No tinfoil wrap with mine please...I like skin with texture

Sour cream is OK, but if the opportunity arises, try onion dip for a wonderful flavor. Mmmmm.

[grannylib]

44. I like 'em with just butter and salt, and I also like them with broccoli

and cheese sauce, and I love twice-baked with cheese...

Yummy. I just may have to go have a nuked spud.

[Xipe Totec]

45. Plain, With a pile of salt on the side,

and a bottle of iced vodka, Russian style!

[hiro]

46. All hail!

Oh man, the best one I ever had was in Uskudar, Turkey....lotsa butter, sour cream, chives, and a pinch of salt to top it all off. Mmmm...bad for you, but SOOOOOOOOOOO good...

-H.
